I walked around the store and I was not the only patron. I walked around and noticed the worker behind me. I realized what was happening and I went behind the worker to verify my suspicions that I was being followed. The worker turned herself to face me and ignored other patrons in the store. I left after her profiling was clear. This was not the first time I was profiled that day. Do better with your staff. I'm never coming back and will tell others to not come to the store.

In the end we only bought birthday cards (they have some greats in that department too!), and will certainly return.

I wished I could have bought something there but artists work can cost a lot, as they should. They had amazing artisan jewelry, whimsical and labor intensive.

The gallery is more than a gallery, it's a cool store that sells clothing, jewelry, sculptures, masks, paintings, home decor items mostly imported from Africa, Niger and Mali. Sure, the prices are a bit higher, but everything in here is unique, one of a kind item, hand made by various artists. I had to get a t-shirt, they were cool, cheap, made in Africa, in a process to help women there use their skills to try to make a living. One of a kind t-shirts, fair trade. We had a nice time chatting with Leslie and she was nice and accommodating with me because I had to try the shirt on, make sure it fits me. Beautiful merchandise, nice store. They'll have a major sale on July 8th, if you'll be in the area, stop by. Or whenever you'll visit Ojai, pop in Nomad Gallery, it's next to Libbey Park, but it's a cool place that will transport you far away, on another continent.
